Poly Pipe Weld Testing of Butt and Electrofusion welded pipes.

LMATS regularly performs  NATA accredited Poly Pipe Weld testing to ISO 13953 and ISO 13954.

  • ISO 13953 – Polyethylene (PE) pipes and fittings, Determination of the tensile strength and failure mode of test pieces from a butt-fused joint

  • ISO 13954 – Plastics pipes and fittings — Peel decohesion test for polyethene (PE) electrofusion assemblies of nominal outside diameter greater than or equal to 90 mm of plastic pipes and fittings.

Why Use LMATS

The  LMATS  advantage of using Waterjet cutting technology:-

  • Fast turnaround of results Next day reporting available! 
  • Poly Pipe wall thickness is not a problem, whether it is 3mm or 80mm LMATS limits testing to 150mm. The waterjet cutting technology enables LMATS to have a fast turnaround time
  • The Waterjet cutting machine has a capacity of cutting up to 250mm thick
  • No heat-affected zone (HAZ) in the plastic Poly Pipe sample
  • Highly accurate and repeatability cutting 
  • The  LMATS  Waterjet Cutting machine has an Accuracy / Repeatability of 0.0025"[0.064 mm] and Linear Straightness of ±0.005 in/3 ft [±0.13 mm/m].
  • No distortion used cold cutting technology, thus eliminating changes in mechanical properties of the specimen due to thermal effects
  • Large cutting deck (1,300 mm x 1,300 mm) to accommodate the largest Poly Pipe Weld test sample.

Portable Brinell hardness testerNATA


Portable Brinell hardness tester -NATA endorsed calibration

Portable Brinell hardness teste are lightweight, easy to maneuver and require only one operator, making them ideal for use as portable or bench units. Versatile enough to test virtually any size and shape of metal specimen, these testers are easy to use. The operator simply places the specimen between the anvil and the test head, cranks the test head down onto the specimen, locking the tester in place, closes the pressure release valve, and pulls the hydraulic lever until desired load is reached.

Leeb Hardness tester


Portable Leeb hardness tester

Suitable for measuring the hardness in very heavy or bulky, difficult to access parts and in production directly on the sample .

Can perform the hardness test on curved surfaces using, if necessary, the support rings on the impact devices. It can also measure in any direction, automatically compensating the gravitational effects on the tip.
